Ok lets not have a pointless spat when we should be basking in our good fortune. Afterall, Le Mass Du Pap got it right. Whether you think it was an accident Wad is not proveable in any case.

Whats of more interest, to me anyway, is where the near term top is? Any thoughts on that.

Regards, Maddox

"Le Mass, the advantage with being a chartist is that you can be right whatever happens.If it starts going up it will go further , but if it starts to fall it might fall further..."

------------------------------------

What a load of nonsense. You should go back and check my posts and you will see that I got it spot on well before it "started to go up". I have always maintained that it would breakout and reach new highs and it has, while you just questioned the effectiveness of charts. Time to swallow that pride with a slice of humble pie and wash it all down with those sour grapes. Good luck with your investment.

But I think we both agreed this was going up.But I didn't think this much.

A mention in the Express today - apparently Investec said that GYG was still undervalued against its sector and that dealers were expecting good results.

[le mass du pap] 14/2/2007 18:11

Seems I was right all along eh, Wad? ;-)

[wad collector] 14/2/2007 17:29

Rivaldo I agree wholeheartedly , but the trouble is , I never know whether it was a winner until after the race has finished.
But as this rise seems to be getting steeper , I shall hold off a bit longer.And I do like dividends!

[tomatoman2] 14/2/2007 17:29

Something going on for a rise like this, bought in at £2.40 and reckon the only way is up, but what do I know?

Wow!! What a rally. It must be valentines day.
I am madly in love with share..

[rivaldo] 14/2/2007 10:03

Why wad? Nothing wrong with a bit of profit-taking, but letting your winners run is in my experience the way to far greater success, and at present there appears to be nothing stopping GYG - and there'll always be takeover speculation in the background if the price falls.

[wad collector] 13/2/2007 15:12

Bit of a steep climb this ; good to see.Am tempted to sell half - but will hold off a few days I think.

[maddox] 13/2/2007 11:43

You're not kidding - just gone through 440p!

[rivaldo] 13/2/2007 10:49

Hi Maddox. Patience wins out in the end again - 482p here we come.

[maddox] 12/2/2007 17:25

Hi rivaldo,

It does look at GYG seems to be being re-valued. My long held opinion has been that GYG's quality was being overlooked. If it takes some takeover speculation to get the institutions to wake up to their attractions then fair enough.

Regards, Maddox

[rivaldo] 12/2/2007 12:51

Surging :o))

[rivaldo] 09/2/2007 12:46

New highs now - could be a takeover, but fundamentals and growth should be enough to drive the price towards that 482p target as a first step.

[optimum] 06/2/2007 14:46

I think GYG will be bought soon.

US competitors can see the company doing well.

More costs savings to come from integration.
Increased sales on the way from new products.
Chairman retiring - albeit slowly.

Got to be a take over soon - in my opinion.

[rivaldo] 01/2/2007 11:38

Looking very good now - new highs and approaching that 482p target soon?

[rivaldo] 30/1/2007 07:45

Ta Maddox, great find.

Coverage initiated as 'buy' by UBS, with a price target of 482 pence, dealers said. In a note published this morning, UBS pointed out that double-digit top line growth will be driven by general surgery opportunity. The broker noted that it is forecasting for the group 15.7% underlying sales growth in 2007 and 13.8% for 2008. UBS added that several factors should lift operating margins for Gyrus in the coming years, including lean manufacturing, new low cost manufacturing facilities, increased sales of higher-margin disposable products and more revenues from the higher-margin surgical division.

Hi rivaldo,

Thank you for your kind remarks. I would be really disappointed, however, if we got taken out of Gyrus before it really takes-off. I'd like to see our patience rewarded.

It looks like Morgan Stanley took the opportunity to pick up some of Aviva's GYG holding at a good price, bringing their share above 3%, then sold them again as the price recovered making a nice little turn.

Regards, Maddox

[rivaldo] 26/1/2007 09:06

Hi Maddox, looking good again at the moment and approaching old highs.

Your post 126 sums things up excellently, although we may get rich a bit quicker if one of the constant bid rumours come to fruition.

It also looks like UK interest rates won't be going much if any higher for a while and USA rates won't be going down - so the dollar may not be much of a problem for a while and already looks stronger.

[maddox] 25/1/2007 10:26

Aviva looked to sell into strength. It appears to have caused that dip back below 400p but has been absorbed easily by the market. Bodes well if 3% of its stock can come on the market and not depress the price!

Regards, Maddox

[wad collector] 24/1/2007 17:53

I don't think we will get rich on its dividend this year anyway.Wonder why Aviva sold a large chunk?

[maddox] 24/1/2007 16:46

Hi Wad,

This is part of my 'get rich slowely' portfolio. Yes, its unlikely to double overnight but the prospects over the next year are looking very good. The hard work of establishing a user base - a slow process in a conservative industry - is being achieved. We should now start to see the disposable sales scale-up as the usage both increases in frequency and expands in scope. There is plenty of head room so we should see a long period of growth pushing the share price forward.

The Dollar will provide a head-wind but its effect will wear off unless it continues to fall further.

Regards, Maddox

Certainly appears to be creeping upwards .I have ended up with more of these than I planned (Thanks to my wifes broker ,Nat West, buying more than I would have risked 4 yrs ago).However I have no plans to sell in short term, I suspect most posters have same sentiment.Hold but unlikely to make big gains.
